To improve self-love, first you need to realize that you deserve love just because you are a human being. You are perfect with your imperfections, and the Universe would never be the same if you weren’t a part of it.

The next level is realizing that you also deserve love as an individual. You have a million wonderful things inside you, no matter who you are and what your current life situation looks like. Maybe you are kind, maybe you are generous, maybe you are capable or a reliable friend. List all the good things about you and don’t stop writing until you get at least 50. When in doubt about yourself, revise this list.

Then give yourself permission to make mistakes and learn to forgive yourself. Just the way you would do that for a close friend. No one can act flawlessly all the time but if we at least try our best and take responsibility for our mistakes, we can count ourselves as decent people.

Repeat to yourself daily that you have wonderfulness inside of you and that the Universe loves you if it has created you. With time you this voice will resonate with you and you will realize more and more layers of this truth.
